Favor granted: welcome to the fun filled adventure of linux, take apart your computer and clean the dust out of the heat sink, dust is clogging the heat so it can't escape causing your fan to try to put out a fire, but it can't with a wall in the way

Have you used: top to determine what processes are using near 100 percent to keep the fan high, most common problems are a minconfigured USB port, start unplugging stuff to see when it drops or webcontent without acceleration enabled on your browser.

I've tried this one and it helps a bit. LMT
Laptop Mode Tools controls the “laptop mode” feature of the Linux kernel. It saves power by spinning down hard drives, and in addition, it can be configured to tweak all sorts of other power-related things.
You have to remore TLP if you count on using this.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps
sudo apt update
sudo apt install laptop-mode-tools
You can use the .deb packages directly from this link
You then lunch it this this command and restart :
gksu lmt-config-gui

There are configuration files for Tlp located in /etc/default/tlp which you can customize to fit your needs. You can issue sudo tlp start to start the process, but I would reboot.
Secondly, there are a set of utilities to set the fan speeds for various sensed temperatures. The following is quoted from https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1165469-control-fan-speeds-lm_sensors-isnt-working/?tab=comments#comment-595825859
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
sudo sensors-detect
just follow the prompts. Add the recommended lines to /etc/modules.
Now, if you don't want to reboot, you'll have to manually activate the
modules.
sudo modprobe module1 module2
where module1 etc. = the module names provided from sensors-detect.
Next, you need to create your fancontrol file. The easiest way is to
